Hi Corrie I am not there now. But know the area. Minute 12:49 has the West Bowl of Cypress Bowl ski hill. There is a bit of a snow patch before that but that is an opening on the summit that is not the ski area.

[@Astromechy]

@@leftcoastcorrie On the North Shore mountains, the furthest west is Cypress, then as you move eastward you have Grouse Mountain (which is basically just north of Harbour Air) and then further up the inlet is Seymour. You can kind of see the base (residential area) of Seymour in your video, but it isn't really recognizable as a "ski hill" since you are zoomed in quite a bit looking at the planes. As you look out over Stanley Park, at the 12:13 minute mark, you can see "The Lions" or "Twin Sisters" from Squamish.

Many years back I was regularly operating a corporate jet to Vancouver during the winter so the owners could go skiing at Whistler. The weather was most often close to minima so nothing to see on the way in. On one flight we arrived on a beautiful clear day and I was struck by the the awesome beauty of the area, being as I had never seen it before. For something to do while on the ground (aside from working on my alcohol habit) I would go down and watch the float planes, feeling envious and thinking I would happily trade job and airplane.

[@leftcoastcorrie]

@mitseraffej5812, thanks for your kind, engaging comment and support, I am truly grateful. The weather in Vancouver can be close to minima many days in the winter. My ex husband(still a friend) was a commercial pilot, we lived in Victoria, he commuted to Vancouver to pick up his plane. Many day were pretty sketchy with fog or a low ceiling. I too had an alcohol habit, gave it up and never looked back. When I go on a video shoot to Vancouver, I spent many hours at the harbour, it never gets boring. The first seaplane is as exciting as the last one 8 hours later. Thanks for finding the lounge, I hope you will come back. Best....Corrie

[@Astromechy]

I just found your channel. I immediately recognized the area and company from the thumbnail, as this is my hometown. You did such a great job with the voice over that I thought you were at first in the "departure lounge". 🤗Then I thought you were the flight services attendant in the first plane ... and was confused when you were suddenly in the second plane. 🤔 I only clued in during the last couple of minutes. 🤣 Great use of the phonetic alphabet on the aircraft idents. I'm not too familiar with float plane operations, but I find it interesting that the communications surrounding their identification do not mention their Transport Canada registry. For example, they don't say "C-GHAR", but identify with "308" (the company marking on the side of the aircraft) to tower. I know that ATC doesn't really care, as they just need the location/altitude data that is provided with the squawk code. There must be some kind of familiarity with the float plane business where they just got into a "shorthand", and I find that interesting.

[@leftcoastcorrie]

@Astromechy, thank you for your kind words, engagement and support, I am sincerely grateful. I'm a work in progress, and it's finally coming together. My KZbin channels have been the biggest learning curve in my life and I love every minute. As you mention, how ATC and the pilots communicate took me a while to figure out. Harbour Air's "nickname" is Harbour Express, followed by the company fleet number. I further figured out that the first number in the "fleet number" 2 or 3 or 6 is how De Havilland identifies their aircraft. A Beaver is a DHC-2, Otter DHC-3, Twin Otter DHC-6. The Grand Caravan's fleet number starts with 1. Im not involved in aviation, I'm just a passionate enthusiast. I am grateful you found the lounge and hope you will return. Best....Corrie

[@DavidMScott-cs8pp]

In the 70s I travelled all of Canada and was going to Nanaimo to work. I decided to take the float plane from Van harbour. The flight was ok but when we landed in Nanaimo harbour it was extremely windy and the waves washed up and over the fuselage when we went down into the troughs. When we got to the dock they put a walkway from the plane to the dock but the plane was rocking in the waves so bad it was difficult to gain access to it and I was young. One very senior little later had to have the 1st Officer literally hold his arms around her to get her on the dock. She must have been from the US east coast because she said very loudly to him “ never again, never again” in a New York type accent. I was funny but I was also nervous upon landing. If I recall the aircraft was a Twin Otter on floats.

[@leftcoastcorrie]

@DavidMScott-cs8pp, thanks David for sharing your amazing story, and I'm grateful you found the lounge.
